80UP40 Ultrafast Recovery Power Rectifier Diode

Product Overview

The 80UP40 is an ultrafast recovery power rectifier diode identified in the supplied product listing as the UTC UA80UP40. It is designed for power rectification applications where reverse-voltage performance, recovery speed and leakage current are important selection considerations.

A rectifier diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow primarily in one direction. Rectifier diodes are used in power circuits and other electronic systems where controlled current direction is required. Ultrafast recovery rectifiers are designed to transition quickly from forward conduction to reverse blocking, making their recovery characteristics relevant in suitable switching applications.

According to the supplied listing, the 80UP40 features high peak repetitive reverse voltage, ultra-short reverse recovery time and low leakage current. The exact electrical ratings and suitability for a particular circuit should be confirmed using the manufacturer’s datasheet.

High Peak Repetitive Reverse Voltage

One of the stated features of the 80UP40 is its high peak repetitive reverse voltage capability. Reverse-voltage performance is an important factor when selecting a rectifier diode for circuits that experience changing voltage conditions.

The appropriate reverse-voltage rating depends on the circuit design, supply conditions and possible voltage transients. The supplied description does not state the exact numerical reverse-voltage rating, so it should not be inferred from the model number alone.

Before selecting this component, check the manufacturer’s documentation to confirm its maximum ratings and determine whether they meet the intended circuit requirements. The diode should be operated within its specified limits.

Ultra-Short Reverse Recovery Time

The product listing identifies ultra-short reverse recovery time as another key feature. Reverse recovery refers to the transition period during which a diode changes from conducting forward current to blocking reverse current.

In switching power electronics, recovery characteristics can affect switching losses, circuit behaviour and electrical noise. A fast-recovery rectifier may be suitable for applications that require rapid switching, provided its other electrical and thermal characteristics are also appropriate.

The source does not provide a numerical reverse recovery time. Buyers who need to compare switching performance should request the official datasheet and verify the specified value under the relevant test conditions.

Low Leakage Current

Low leakage current is the third feature highlighted in the supplied product information. Leakage current is the small current that may flow through a diode when it is reverse-biased.

The actual leakage current depends on the component’s specifications and operating conditions, including temperature and applied reverse voltage. Because no numerical leakage-current value is provided, the product should be evaluated using verified manufacturer information rather than an assumed performance figure.

This specification can be particularly relevant when the circuit requires controlled reverse leakage behaviour. The complete application requirements should be considered before selecting the component.

Potential Power Rectification Applications

The product is described as an ultrafast recovery power rectifier. Depending on its verified ratings, this type of diode may be considered for compatible power rectification and switching circuits.

The supplied listing does not identify specific equipment, circuit configurations or approved applications. Therefore, compatibility with a particular power supply, converter or electronic device should not be assumed.

When choosing a power rectifier, engineers may need to review forward current, repetitive reverse voltage, surge-current capability, forward voltage drop, reverse recovery time, leakage current and thermal characteristics. These details are not provided in the supplied product description and must be confirmed from the manufacturer’s datasheet.

Component Selection and Compatibility

Selecting a suitable diode involves checking its complete electrical and physical specifications against the intended circuit. The model number and general product description are not enough to establish compatibility.

Before purchasing the 80UP40, confirm the manufacturer’s identification, voltage and current ratings, package type, pin configuration and thermal requirements. If the component is being used as a replacement, compare these details with the original component’s specifications and the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.

The listing identifies UTC UA80UP40 as the component designation but does not include a complete datasheet or package dimensions. These details should be obtained before installation or bulk purchasing.

Power electronics equipment can contain hazardous voltages and stored electrical energy. Installation and servicing should be performed by qualified personnel using appropriate safety procedures and following the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

Stock and Purchasing Information

The supplied product listing shows 200 units in stock. This is the quantity displayed in the listing and should be confirmed with the supplier before placing an order, as availability can change.

For bulk orders, confirm the exact model, manufacturer identification, packaging and quantity. Request technical documentation if the diode is intended for production, equipment maintenance or a circuit with specific switching requirements.

Superway can be contacted to enquire about product availability and purchasing details. Buyers should request a current quotation and verify that the supplied component matches their required specifications before finalising an order.

For larger quantities, it is advisable to confirm the stock level and product identity in advance. This helps reduce the risk of receiving a component that does not meet the intended application’s requirements.

Superway may be approached for additional product information, subject to supplier availability. Technical decisions should be based on verified documentation rather than the brief online description alone.

Technical Information to Verify

The supplied listing identifies the 80UP40 as an ultrafast recovery power rectifier diode and highlights high peak repetitive reverse voltage, ultra-short reverse recovery time and low leakage current. It does not provide numerical values for these characteristics.

Superway should be asked for the official datasheet or other available manufacturer documentation. Confirm the reverse-voltage rating, forward-current rating, recovery time, leakage current, package and thermal requirements before selecting the diode for a specific circuit.

Superway can also be contacted to confirm current stock and request pricing for the required quantity.
